First, I love Morgan Freeman's voice. Morgan Freeman's, Sam Elliott's, and James Earl Jones' voices are the best. I think I could listen to them for hours even if they were just reading the dictionary.
Second, does anyone play a psychopathic personality any better than Jack Nicholson? Okay, so maybe he's not exactly a psychopath in this movie, but he definitely plays some character traits that are ... shallow? self-centered? crazy? Yes. All of the above. (Makes me wonder what he's like in real life.)
Then there is the whole 'bucket list' concept. I loved that some of the items on the list were intangible, like "laugh until I cry" and "witness something majestic".
The movie was beautiful. The storyline:
"Corporate billionaire Edward Cole and working class mechanic Carter Chambers have nothing in common except for their terminal illnesses. While sharing a hospital room together, they decide to leave it and do all the things they have ever wanted to do before they die according to their bucket list. In the process, both of them heal each other, become unlikely friends, and ultimately find joy in life."

And yes, I cried at the end.
